Harmonising Spaces: Art, Design, and Interiors

We are excited to welcome you to Cromwell Place for our Harmonising Spaces: Art, Design, and Interiors on Friday, 22 September. The day will centre around a series of panel discussions focusing on the intersection of art and design with interior design, co-curated with Helen Chislett.

Nestled at the heart of artistic culture, Cromwell Place creates an environment that fuses history and modernity, where tradition and innovation can coalesce. Harmonising Spaces: Art, Design, and Interiors will bring together renowned designers and architects, industry experts, and art advisors and will coincide with London Design Festival and Brompton Design District, whose theme for 2023 is Conviviality - The Art of Living Together: celebrating design’s ability to connect us with the people and places around us, exploring how designers can help us to live collaboratively. Over the course of three panel discussions, we will delve into the relationship between form and function, aesthetics and practicality, beauty and usability: traversing the realms of sustainable design, cultural influences, and the psychology behind spatial compositions.

Join us throughout the day to exchange ideas, forge connections, and create collaborations, whilst we illuminate the myriad ways in which art and design elevates the human spirit and enriches our daily lives.
